What Happened To You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Bruce D. Perry, Oprah Winfrey

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book was very powerful. It gets painful at some points tbh, and it's really hard to face the cruelty of the world, and how much trauma kids can be exposed to. Oprah's closing words had me in tears but have inspired me to look at forgiveness from a very different perspective. A great book to read for people who've had any kind of trauma in their past, for parents (especially of younger children), and for people who work with children and teenagers. The move from "what's wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?" is something I'm definitely going to work on for a while.
